A Grey Heron perched in a willow tree in the sunshine. The bird is side on on the right of the picture, facing left. The sun is shining on its back and head and illuminating the sprawling tree.  Blue sky is visible through the trees

A male Pochard floating on a lake.  The bird is in side profile, looking right. A drop is hanging off its beak and the ripple of a previous one is visible under it. In the background the the reflection of the shore can be seen in the water.

Four Tufted ducks in silhouette on a calm lake. The ducks are loosely in the centre of the frame, two in side profile and two facing the camera. The backlit sunset is casting a metallic orange glow on the calm
water, and casting a reflection of the ducks in front of them.

A Wren perched on hazel in the bright sunshine. The bird is facing the camera with its head turned to the right. The sun is shining in from the left on the bird and the vegetation around it.

A Siskin perched horizontally on a small Ivy branch. The bird is horizontal with its head to the right and tail to the left. Its beak is open in an aggressive stance. There are Ivy leaves above it and the background is out of focus green

πŸͺΆ @alan678.bsky.social has chosen primary colours for today’s #BirdOfTheDay. Alternative is #Songbirds

I’m going with this Great Tit as a two for one.
